Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a dwarf pea plant (homozygous recessive) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the phenotypic ratio of the offspring?
Added by Laura C.
Step 1
- The dwarf pea plant is homozygous recessive, so its genotype is dd. - The tall pea plant is heterozygous, so its genotype is Dd. Show more…

Use a Punnett square to predict the offspring in a cross between a tall pea plant (heterozygous) and a tall pea plant (heterozygous). What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring?
Hem S.
Flower position, stem length, and seed shape are three characters that Mendel studied. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene and has dominant and recessive expression as indicated in Table $14.1 .$ If a plant that is heterozygous for all three characters is allowed to self-fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would you expect to be each of the following? (Note: Use the rules of probability instead of a huge Punnett square.) (a) homozygous for the three dominant traits (b) homozygous for the three recessive traits (c) heterozyous for all three characters (d) homozygous for axial and tall, heterozygous for seed shape
